“…The mangrove environment in Stations 1 and 2 were considered to be disturbed because of its anthropogenic activities such as the nearby households and mariculture activities, respectively. Hence, Stations 1 and 2 showed lower diversity index of macroinvertebrates than Station 1 but do not directly affect the positive allometry of A. edentula since these bivalve species are infaunal burrowing (Gaspar et al, 2002;Gimin et al, 2004;Babei et al, 2010 andTurra et al, 2018) and can be collected particularly in disturbed mangrove forest with muddy substrates. The highest diversity index of macroinvertebrates in Station 3 may be attributed to its location.…”

“…It has to be noted that whatever growth patterns these bivalves have, there are several factors influencing them. Their growth and morphometry may be affected by both environmental factors such as current, depth, temperature, wave exposure, and sediment and biological factors like predation and burrowing abilities (Gaspar et al, 2002;Gimin et al, 2004;Babei et al, 2010 andTurra et al, 2018).…”

“…As S. cuccullata is considered an epifaunal, its allometric growth pattern is directly affected in a disturbed mangrove environment. Moreover, the second factor affecting allometry is the wave exposure and temperature (Gaspar et al, 2002;Gimin et al, 2004;Babei et al, 2010 andTurra et al, 2018). Though Station 3 was considered a non-disturbed mangrove forest, its location is on the seaward.…”

“…Meanwhile, A. edentula achieved positive allometry despite inhabiting disturbed mangrove forests in Stations 1 and 2. This is due to their capacity to burrow deeply in muddy soil (Gaspar et al, 2002;Gimin et al, 2004;Babei et al, 2010;and Turra et al, 2018), which may contribute to their positive allometric growth pattern.…”

Bivalves and gastropods are among the most important food resource in coastal communities. The destructive ways of harvesting these mangrove associate fauna may cause a threat to the forest and may alter the physiological condition of these organisms. The length-weight relationship of two bivalves (Anodontia edentula and Saccostrea cuccullata) and 11 gastropods (Littoraria angulifera, Littoraria melanostoma, Littoraria scabra, Chicoreus capunicus, Tenguella musiva, Nerita exuvia, Nerita lineata, Cerithidea decollate, Terebralia palustris, and Terebralia sulcata) species collected from the mangrove forest of Barangay Nabago, Surigao City was assessed in this study. A. edentula exhibits positive allometry (b=3.7002) while S. cuccullata shows negative allometry (b=2.6145). The 11 gastropod species demonstrate a negative allometric pattern (b<3). The negative allometric pattern of these species indicates that the length increased faster than the weight, which could be attributed to the different environmental factors in the area. The data obtained in this study is essential for the monitoring of these organisms and management of the entire mangrove ecosystem in the area.

Gonadal maturation studies were carried out on one of the largest growing tropical mangrove clam species, Polymesoda erosa from Ratnagiri coast of Maharashtra. Gonadal maturation studies under laboratory conditions were also carried out to assess the effect of temperature and salinity on Gonad Index (GI) in two separate experiments each of 60 days duration. The optimum temperature and salinity observed for GI was 30°C and 25 ppt, respectively for both the sexes. Estimated fecundity of P. erosa within the range of 40 to 120 mm shell lengths was studied. It was observed that maximum numbers of matured oocytes were 1773893 whereas minimum number was 384227.

The remains of shellfish dominate many coastal archaeological sites in the Pacific and provide a wealth of information about economy, culture, environment and climate. Shells are therefore the logical sample type to develop local and regional radiocarbon chronologies. The calibration of radiocarbon ( 14 C) dates on marine animals is not straightforward, however, requiring an understanding of habitat and dietary preferences as well as detailed knowledge of local ocean conditions. The most complex situations occur where terrestrial influences impinge on the marine environment resulting in both the enrichment and depletion of 14 C (
